East Dulwich Street cred.


DulwichFox

Recommended Posts

I'm really have no idea on this.


Where should one be seen out shopping, eating & drinking

In East Dulwich. ?

Where is cool. Where to avoid being seen.


Once upon a time it would be The Kings rd. or

The Ivy in Chelsea.

But where in E.D.


It's time old Foxy went up market.


Advice needed

The trouble with ED Foxy is this, most of the 'posh' type places, are actually a little bit 'wannabe'. It's never been 'cool', it's definitely not a Chelsea Or Putney, lacks the up market credibility, it's not even on a par with the village. Stick to the ED caf! Big portions, low prices.

Fox, it's simple.

Get up in the morning and wear what you wanna wear, what you feel good in, what sometimes you feel a bit strong in, or whatever. You don't need to look outside yourself. Cred sure ain't wondering what everyone else is doing.

I don't think you really give a toss what anyone else wears though, do you ?

This really was meant as a light hearted jolly jape...


I think The EDF is the wrong place for light hearted discussion...


Everyone takes everything so seriously.


As if I of all people really give a s**t about Street Cred..


There are clouds over East Dulwich today ... but above the clouds there is Brilliant Sunshine..

No it isn't .. But the Kings Road is in Chelsea and The Ivy Chelsea Garden is in Chelsea.

Indeed - I've been chuckling at the 35-50 somethings EDF Massive debating street cred

For me, there's nothing cool about caring where you are seen and who you are seen with... that's just deeply superficial. But then if I was that kind of person I'd never have chosen to live round here.


I had some of my happiest nights out in the decidedly uncool Swindon - was all about being surrounded by good friends and having a good laugh - was that great time in your early twenties when you've left home / escaped the watchful eye of your parents, but don't have too many adult responsibilities to worry about. Oh and Swindon might be a dump, but it was quite cheap and student debt wasn't the issue it is now, so you could afford to go out more.

    • KARTULI - GEORGIAN CUISINE AND WINE Restaurant review, found this on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkgIki4fm0    
    • I can't really comment on the general West/East/Village discussion.  It's all out of my price range, and like others I expect, we moved here when the area was much more affordable and dare I say much of it 'ordinary'.  But was thinking exactly the same as New Wave regards to SE23 as a place to live, and convenient for SE22 etc for visiting including buses and an easy cycle.  You have hills of course in Forest Hill but this adds to the charm (and from a lot of places the views). At the edge of Forest Hill you have the best pub in the country, the Blythe Hill Tavern.  Pubs can get better, and can get worse, as they do everywhere, including Forest Hill, but the Blythe is consistently great for the craic and the beer (no restaurant but the pizza van comes at weekends).
    • Forest Hill area around Manor Mount/Horniman gardens...Or Off of Honor Oak Rd good transport Links (Overground and Southern to London Bridge)  decent Bus Routes (P4 goes past Dulwich College and into the Village). Very easy to get to Crystal Palace park Horniman Gardens and museum on the doorstep Horniman Triangle kids playground Dulwich Woods and Dulwich Park and riding school in walking distance. A few decent pubs and again easy to go to Peckham, and ED for good resturants. A few excellent coffee shops where you can get lunch. Theres a brilliant Thai resturant (Matoom) and a very good Japanesese (Sushi Garden) and 2 family friendly pubs/bars that serve good food (The Signal and Sylvan Post). a fantastic butcher, a couple of Deli's and a Sainsbury for all the other 'stuff' There is also a local pool and small gym We've lived in this area (Near Horniman border of Lewisham and Southwark) for 13 years having moved from Notting Hill. It feels very safe and is family friendly..We were originally looking to buy in Dulwich but did'nt want a small victorian terrace we got more for our money here and have been very happy.
    • Indeed Alice, but the traffic illustrated and those affected by it really don't count; they are examples of necessary collateral damage in the council's fight for the 'greater good'.
